“Congress is like a high school student council, only in high school they get more accomplished. This Congress has a 10% approval rating. If you had that kind of approval on Facebook you’d have the common decency to kill yourself. These guys asked for the job. They chose to sit down with a group of turds they can’t stand. They should just shut up, do their homework, and lead. But first we should send them all to sensitivity camp.”

Catch more of Lewis Black in his one-man Broadway show, Running on Empty, October 14, 19, and 20.
